Last Word Cabernet Sauvignon - This Cab is from Columbia Valley, Washington and is quite delicious with aromas of black and blue fruit and sweet earth. You’ll taste black raspberry and Ruby Chocolate that ride high on wings that only the finest French oak can sew with vanillin silk and saffron threads.

Propaganda Cabernet Sauvignon - A wonderful Cab from Napa Valley, California, this has complex aromatics of blackberry liqueur, fresh strawberry, pipe tobacco, and salted caramel. When it ends up on your tongue, expect mouth-coating flavors of velvety blueberry, cream soda, sage, and roasted chicory. You have to let this Cab breath for awhile to allow it to open up so you can fully enjoy it.

Safeword Malbec - This is the first Malbec from Treasure Hunter Wines and we must say it is the best Malbec we have tasted. He found this one at a prestigious Napa Valley winery, where they were using it to blend with their Cab. Hunter was so impressed with the quality that he said it needs to stand on its own. And it does a wonderful job of doing that. In Hunter's words, " This wine has heaping flavors of blackberries, plum, cola and a sweet and savory component that tastes like meat being smoked over wet cherry wood".

Another Canned Wine Arives

Pampelonne Negroni Sbagliato is Stephanie's favorite wine cocktail from Pampelonne. Like all Pampelonne wines, this one starts with a base of French white wine and then they add Italian Negroni bitters, blood orange and orgeat of almond (a syrup made of almonds and rose water).

All Pampelonne wines are slightly sparkling and not very sweet so you won't get weighed down. And if you're looking for low calories you've found it. Each 250 ml can is only 120 calories with 10 grams of carbs. So you won't feel guilty about having more than one.
